Santa arrived early with the latest release of IBM’s business integration products. WebSphere Process Server 6.0.2 and WebSphere ESB 6.0.2 were both released just before Christmas. There is a developerWorks article providing an overview of the new features. WebSphere Integration Developer 6.0.2 is also available as an update via the Rational Product Updater (as is the first ifix). Note that this will also bring the Process Server installation that forms part of the Integration Test Environment up to the 6.0.2 level. For the runtimes, make sure you also get the critical fixes.

All the twos
Thursday, December 28th, 2006New Popular Edition Maps
Wednesday, December 13th, 2006Search to see what your area looked like in the 1940s on the New Popular Edition Maps. If you can locate somewhere you know, enter the postcode and update their free database. (Free The Postcode has a similar mission.)

WebSphere ESB JMS bindings
Monday, December 11th, 2006The second part of Rachel and Andre’s series on Building an Enterprise Service Bus using WebSphere ESB looks at placing a WebSphere ESB mediation between an MDB and JMS client. In this case the requester and provider both deal in the serialized business object XML but don’t forget that you can use the JMS data bindings to provide custom mappings from other external message formats to that expected by the SCA runtime.
File conversion

Upload a document, image, video or music, select the type of conversion, enter your e-mail address and click convert. After a short delay you get an e-mail back with a link to your converted document.
WebSphere Process Server made easy

WebSphere Business Services Fabric
Saturday, December 9th, 2006Chris has posted on the launch of WebSphere Business Services Fabric v6.0 following IBM’s acquisition of Webify. At the moment this product is only on the very edge of my radar but it’s undoubtedly something I shall be keeping an eye on.
